Chen: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Carlsson doubled up.

Tjauw Foe Dodges Some

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} when Goran Mandic checked to Clyde Tjauw Foe who bet 22,000. Mandic raised to 62,000 and Tjauw Foe tanked for a bit before moving all in. Mandic snap-called for a total of 182,000.

Mandic: {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Tjauw Foe: {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}, {Q-Diamonds} and Tjauw Foe's king-high ended up being enough to stay in the tournament. On the very next hand Tjauw Foe took some chips from John Juanda and he's now back up over the average stack.

Ramdin Does Horecki Dirty

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Marcin Horecki
Marcin Horecki

Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki has seen better run outs of board when he has two aces and his opponent doesn't flop a single pair. This time, his fellow Team Pro Victor Ramdin got the better of him thanks to a very kind turn and river.

From under the gun, Ramdin opened to 16,000 before Horecki reraised to 54,000 from the cutoff seat and was all in. Play folded back to Ramdin, and he called.

Ramdin showed the {5-Spades}{4-Spades} and was up against Horecki's {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades} and kept Horecki in front. The turn was the {4-Clubs} to keep Ramdin alive, but it was the {4-Diamonds} on the river than delivered the most damaging blow. Ramdin had backed into a full house and cracked Horecki's aces, sending him to the rail in 41st place.
